Re: What do you think of the Olympics boycott?

What's the drain on society? I'm genuinely curious because while I don't like or care about sports, I can't think of anything about them that is a drain on society.

I also think there are immeasurable factors you're overlooking, such as people who get enjoyment from watching sporting matches and events.

Let me put it this way: when you're building not one, but two stadiums, costing $454 million dollars, where's that money going to come from?

I'll tell you: Taxpayers.

Where could that money have been better spent? On things like repairing infrastructure (including/especially the Brent Spence Bridge which is deeply in need of replacement) and improving schools. Instead it's going towards a pair of mediocre teams who didn't need two stadiums to win the AFC championship and two World Series.

That link doesn't work even though I have a WSJ digital subscription. Do you have the article title and publication date by any chance?

Thank you! I found it in the advanced search and it still won't open for me so I tried a couple random old articles and none of them work, either. I thought maybe if I clicked the article from on their site it might help, but nope. I saved the link because I find that stuff fascinating. I'm off to contact customer support because I am just not getting along with their site today :/

That's a specific problem with sports that can be reformed, not an indictment of sports in general, which is the check you were trying to cash in the OP

Can, but won't, won't ever, because we have become an anti-intellectual society in the hopes of preserving false notions of manhood and physical skill is valued over mental.
